Hello all, I have been going mad trying to get SOLR to search for parentheses as literals. For example, "(Figure 5)". I've tried entering it in the fq field as: allText:\(Figure 5\)
(where allText is a facet). SOLR interprets this in the response as "fq":"allText:\\(Figure 5\\)" and it ends up finding text like "In Figure 5" with no parentheses. I assume this is because it is escaping the escape characters. I've tried escaping, I've tried URL encoding them, I've tried banging my head on the desk. I can't get solr to understand that this should be an exact match and that the parentheses are both literal and mandatory. In the wiki it even gives an example of escaping parentheses as part of the "Escaping Special Characters" section but it doesn't seem to work in my case. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there something I'm doing wrong?
